With a range of 7,500 nautical miles, the Qatar Executive Gulfstream G650ER can fly faster and for longer distances than any other jet of its class.

The Group Chief Executive of Qatar Airways, Akbar Al Baker expressed his joy being the first global business aviation operator to receive a delivery flight using Sustainable Aviation Fuel.
